                                                                                          File "/storage/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.netflix/resources/lib/Navigation.py", line 1053, in call_netflix_service
                                            data = urllib2.urlopen(full_url).read()

Edit the line 1053 of the Navigation.py file, add the timeout parameter and set it to 60 seconds, it is enough, but it could delay some other actions in case of real timeouts.. but it will solve your issue. data = urllib2.urlopen(full_url , timeout = 60 ).read()

Thanks, now everything is correctly searched

I can confirm that this also solves the issue #581 which is on a Raspbery Pi3

I am pretty basic with Linux, but I do not seem to have a Navigation.py file. There is a Navigation directory, has this file been removed / split up? Where would this line be now? Here is an image:

Linux is case sensitive, but it doesn´t matter, becuase you have version 0.14, whom have a complete different structure, so if you have a directory called navegartion , you have version 0.14.something, in that case you should modify .kodi/addons/plugin.video.netflix/resources/lib/common/ipc.py , line 76

from urllib2.urlopen(url=url, data=json.dumps(data)).read(),

to this urllib2.urlopen(url=url, data=json.dumps(data), timeout=60).read(),

If you dont have exoerience with linux, I would recomned you modifying the zip file, containing the addon, then uninstall and install the file you modify... rememeber that you have to disable addOn Signals on Netflix config screen

Cheers

Thank you. I'm not exactly inexperienced with Linux, I'm just not very knowledgeable; I'm a Windows SysAdmin and Network Engineer. It's made learning Linux hard, a bit of a disconnect between the two. Old habits and all that.

I've made the change but am still getting the same, ERROR: GetDirectory - Error getting plugin://plugin.video.netflix

I also don't know what you mean by, "disable addOn Signals on Netflix config screen." I haven't seen that in any of the tutorials I've seen and don't see any options like that in Information or Settings, where should I be looking?

[jakermx]

Go Settings , on Expert check "Use IPC...." then restart

[artanyis1]

Thank you, I just overlooked it. I have enabled the option Use IPC over HTTP but am still getting the same error.

This is why we always ask for the log files first.]

You are running KODI 17 instead of 18, so no InputStream.Adaptive is installed, .... please upgrade and test...I would suggest ther use of Libreelec.

Thank you. Sorry for the confusion, this was a new download/install as of 2 days ago, I had not realized it wasn't the newest version. Reloaded and working properly now. Thank you again.
